The ODT Department offers a major in information systems and a co-major in digital technology management.

Information Systems

Information systems are important for day-to-day operations as well as strategic management of businesses. Information systems management involves analysis, design, implementation, and operation of computer-based information systems, which is becoming increasingly important to leading enterprises in innovative ways. The information systems (IS) major focuses on information technology (IT) and process issues for operating and managing large, distributed global businesses, integrating business with systems, designing processes as well as the associated data, managing the IT infrastructure, and developing business applications.

The Undergraduate Program provides complete information about undergraduate degree requirements, including comprehensive information about the curriculum. Drop in to the Kelley Undergraduate Advising Office for the most up-to-date information and to make sure that you are on track to complete needed courses.

The 21 credit hour information systems major may not be declared in conjunction with the digital technology management co-major.

Required GPA: Grade of C- or higher in each course counting toward the major.

Major GPA of 2.0 or higher – GPA includes all courses counting toward the INFOSYS major.

All 300/400 business courses must be taken on the IU Bloomington campus or must be pre-authorized as a part of an approved study abroad program.

ODT recommends but does not require that students choose 9 credits within one of the following tracks:

Students also have the option to take a 300- or 400-level non-Kelley advanced programming elective. Students must request departmental authorization to substitute a non-Kelley elective for the major. A list of pre-approved non-Kelley advanced programming electives is below. ODT does accept petitions for courses that are not yet on this list. Please email all elective requests with syllabus attachment(s)—even for approved electives—to odt@indiana.edu to ensure that the course qualifies and is counted correctly toward the IS major on your transcript.
